Malva sylvestris, Falcaria vulgaris Bernh and Chenopodium botrys L. are of the usually expended wild palatable plants as nourishment and therapeutic purposes by residents in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. In this manner, the assurance of dietary esteem and minerals of eatable wild plants are basic for nourishment security and human health. Hence, in the present examination nutritional esteem and minerals of chose plant species were researched. Additionally, this study presents useful data (mineral constituents, total ash, dry matter, % N, crude protein, pH and crude fiber) to show the knowledge of the nutritional value of three wild plants traditionally consumed in many areas in Eastern Anatolia. According to the results obtained from laboratory analysis, Malva sylvestris is high in crude fiber (44.64%) compared with Falcaria vulgaris Bernh (18.34%) and Chenopodium botrys L. (36.04%). Crude protein content of Falcaria vulgaris and Chenopodium botrys L. were calculated as 21.69% and 12.25%, respectively, while that of Malva sylvestris was 8.57%. In terms of total ash content, it was observed that Chenopodium botrys L. has higher value (20.84%) than the others. The higher values of mineral elements were observed in Chenopodium botrys L. such as sodium (1.24g kg-1), potassium (28.22g kg-1), calcium (46.87g kg-1), phosphor (3.95g kg-1), magnesium (10.61 g kg-1), iron (580.53mg kg-1), manganese (79.54mg kg-1), while the higher values of Sulphur (1.91g kg-1), zinc (43.14mg g-1) and total ash (20.84%) rate were determined in Malva sylvestris species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
